Hair Removal For Genitals: What Can I Do About It?

Genital hair removal for men involves the removal of hair from the penis and scrotum. For women, this refers to the removal of hair from the clitoral hood, labia minora and labia majora. The process of removing genital hair requires delicate care because the genital area has an unlevel surface and thinner skin. Hence, some of the normal hair removal methods you use on your pubic area may not be very applicable for removing genital hair.

Genital Waxing

Waxing the genitals for women should not be a problem as waxing works relatively fine on the female genitalia. Men do not have it the easy way with waxing because most waxing professional refuse to wax the scrotum. The problem with the scrotum is that the skin there is too loose. During the pulling off of the wax, the skin on the scrotum tends to stretch excessively, which creates a lot of pain. Hair on the scrotum is usually coarser, which makes it even harder to remove with waxing.

To further complicate things for men, most waxing professionals are women. While some men certainly do not mind a woman handling their sexual organs, others may not like the idea of having a man performing the job and some men do not want anyone to touch them. If you prefer to wax your genitals yourself, you could purchase a home waxing kit. The main advantage of waxing is it removes the hair from the root, which lasts from 3 to 8 weeks before growing back. The hair growth process can be slowed down with special hair inhibitors to extend the effectiveness of waxing. The pain factor is what stops most people from waxing but if you think you can handle it, then go for it!

Genital Hair Removers

If you prefer to remove genital hair by shaving, the best way is an electric pubic shaver, which will rule out the risk of injuring yourself and the other downsides associated with shaving with a razor. These pubic shavers usually look like small men’s beard shavers with a rotary foil at the top. You will be required to trim the hair you want to shave till it is very short in length to enable these pubic shavers to do their job. Due to the fact that shaving does not remove hair from the root, you may experience ingrown hairs when they start to grow out if you do not apply special after-shave creams to prevent the new hair from growing sideways. Additionally, shaving requires a lot of maintenance because hair grows back in just a few days.
